Garbage in and garbage out? You can't use flawed data to point out a flaw, because the problem could be with the data you're using .

You would indeed be very likely to get only garbage out if you got something wrong. Anyone who knows what java code looks like could tell if the code was decrypted incorrectly. Have yourself a read all about encryption.
In any case, the best way to check would be for someone to dump all of the class files, unhash them all and then hash them all again without modification. I bet they'd pass CRT=2.
Taking the above into account, I think it's pretty unreasonable to believe that Kwiatek would point out the error if it wasn't in the original game's FM straight from being unhashed, or for that matter that he wouldn't have checked it several times before bringing it to the attention of TD.
I confess that I find myself surprised by the attitude with which Kwiatek's post was received, surely it wasn't necessary to cause such a fuss over the fact that his information comes from modding the game's files himself? Some TD members were previously modders themselves. Seems mighty hypocritical.
